Dover Castle
Dover Castle No fortress in England boasts a longer history than Dover Castle.With its strategic position high on the iconic white cliffs, it has protected England's shores since Roman times. Enjoy an exciting new experience in the Secret Wartime Tunnels as the evacuation of troops from Dunkirk in May 1940 is vividly brought to life in the very tunnels where the daring rescue mission was planned. Immerse yourself in the medieval world of King Henry II's Great Tower as you explore richly dressed chambers and meet costumed characters from his royal court. Discover centuries of history both above and below ground in this fascinating fortress known as 'the Key to England'. Schloss Dover Keine Festung Englands weist eine längere Geschichte auf als Dover Castle. Dank ihrer strategischen Lage hoch über den symbolträchtigen weißen Klippen von Dover hat sie die Küsten Englands seit der Römerzeit geschützt.Werden Sie in den geheimen Tunneln aus Kriegszeiten Zeuge einer spannenden neuen Erfahrung, denn die Evakuierung der Truppen von Dünkirchen fand hier mit der Planung der waghalsigen Rettungsaktion im Mai 1940 in eben genau diesen Tunneln ihren Anfang. Sie haben auch die Gelegenheit, in die mittelalterliche Welt des Great Tower von König Heinrich II. einzutauchen, indem Sie die prächtig ausstaffierten Gemächer erkunden können und kostümierte Personen des Königshofes treffen. Erleben Sie in dieser als „der Schlüssel zu England" bekannten faszinierenden Festung sowohl über- als auch unterirdisch mehrere Jahrhunderte der Geschichte.
Castello di Dover Nessun’altra fortezza in Inghilterra vanta una storia più antica del Dover Castle. Grazie alla sua posizione strategica sulle famose bianche scogliere, essa ha protetto le spiagge inglesi sin dai tempi dei Romani. Sperimentate nuove sensazioni passando nei tunnel segreti risalenti alla guerra mondiale scorsa e che servirono per portare in salvo le truppe da Dunkerque nel maggio 1940. Il ricordo di quanto accadde è riportato alla mente proprio dai quei tunnel in cui si programmò la missione di salvataggio. Immergetevi inoltre nel mondo medievale della Great Tower del Re Enrico II che vi offrirà lo spettacolo di stanze riccamente arredate e personaggi della sua corte con l’abbigliamento dell’epoca. Scoprite secoli di storia sia in superficie, sia nei sotterranei di questa affascinante fortezza conosciuta con il nome di ‘La chiave per l’Inghilterra’. Le château de Douvres Nulle autre forteresse en Angleterre ne peut s'enorgueillir d’une aussi longue histoire que le château de Douvres. Depuis sa position stratégique au sommet des iconiques falaises blanches, il a protégé les côtes anglaises depuis l’époque romaine.Venez vivre une expérience passionnante à l’époque des tunnels secrets de la guerre: l'évacuation des troupes de Dunkerque de mai 1940 a été recréée d’une manière très vivante dans les tunnels mêmes où l'audacieuse mission de sauvetage fut organisée. Plongez-vous aussi dans le monde médiéval de la Grande Tour du roi Henri II, explorez les chambres richement décorées et rencontrez des personnes costumées comme à l’époque de sa cour royale. Découvrez des siècles d'histoire tant au-dessus qu’en dessous du sol dans cette fascinante forteresse connue comme «la clé de l'Angleterre.

A True English Pub Experience The White Horse Inn is reputed to be one of the town’s oldest residences, dating from 1365. It was built during the reign of Edward III as a dwelling for the Churchwarden of St James’ church, the remains of which can be seen next to the pub. In 1574 it became home to Dover’s “Ale Taster” and for the next 55 years was the home of successive post holders whose duties included checking on the quality of ale and on unlawful measures. They also had the responsibility of reporting anyone who kept a disorderly house! In the 18th century named the “City of Edinburgh”, it became the meeting place of actors and players of the Dover Theatre. In 1818 the name of the inn was changed to The White Horse and it was about this time that inquests were held there, mainly on bodies washed up from the sea. These are said to have been stored in what used to be the dining area to the rear of the property. Today The White Horse is a traditional English local pub with a good selection of real ales, lagers, wines and spirits. It also provides good food for those with a healthy appetite. Fresh beer battered cod and chips and Sunday roasts are especially recommended. The White Horse is known throughout the world as the Channel Swimmers pub with the interior walls of the pub adorned with the names, dates and times of successful Channel swimmers from all over the world. So if you want to sample the friendly welcoming atmosphere of a genuine English pub, enjoy fish and chips at its best and quaff good English beer then a visit to The White Horse is a must.
